Twelve months ago, Kieran Shoemark was in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons, as he lost the ride on Field Of Gold in the Irish 2000 Guineas and ended his association with John and Thady Gosden.

Since then, Shoemark has proven his mental resilience and riding ability time and time again, featuring a profitable association with trainer Ed Walker, and on Sunday, the pair combined to win the Tattersalls Gold Cup with Almaqam (13/2).
